Child themes reference parent themes by directory name, and in a normal install all your themes live in wp-content/themes/, so I’d say it’s fine to reference those themes by their relative path: include ‘../parent-theme/some-file.php’; If that makes you uncomfortable, I observe the following constants in WordPress 3.0.1 with a twentyten child theme called tt-child: TEMPLATEPATH … Read more
Since “WordPress MU is no longer under active development as a separate product“, I don’t recommend using it. Instead I recommend using the setup described in this answer. It’s highly configurable you can choose what WordPress files you want on all your WordPress sites and what you want to store separately from each other WordPress … Read more
The answer is mostly no. The “enhanced” text widget was designed to work like the post editor as much as possible, including autop which might break whatever HTML that can not stand the conversion of lines into paragraphs. Several people have released plugins to restore the former functionality, but 4.8.1 will also include an “code” … Read more
The ‘jpeg_quality’ filter hook functions accept two arguments: $jpeg_quality and $function which is the function from within the filter hook is fired and can be either image_resize or wp_crop_image. So there is no way to selectively set the quality of .jpeg images according to image size from this filter hook function. However, you still can … Read more
